The short version
- Only Tuta has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
- Each has a real cost: Tuta individual plan pricing only shown in EUR; no USD conversion provided on site; Yoti age estimation returns a probabilistic range rather than a verified date of birth, so it only works with a safety buffer above the legal threshold and cannot prove an exact age.
- Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Tuta
- Individual plan pricing only shown in EUR; no USD conversion provided on site
- Family plan pricing separate (EUR 3 or EUR 8 per additional user) not included in main pricing
- Shared mailboxes require additional EUR 3-8 monthly charges
Yoti
- Age estimation returns a probabilistic range rather than a verified date of birth, so it only works with a safety buffer above the legal threshold and cannot prove an exact age.
- Estimation accuracy varies by demographic and reported error margins widen at the age bands that matter most for eighteen-year thresholds, which pushes borderline users into a document fallback you still have to pay for.
- Pricing is not published, so buyers cannot compare the cost of an estimation check against a document check without going through sales.
- Regulatory acceptance of facial estimation differs by jurisdiction, so a method that satisfies Ofcom may not satisfy a regulator elsewhere and multi-market platforms need more than one approach.
- The reusable digital identity app depends on consumer adoption, which is meaningful in the UK and thin elsewhere, limiting the reusability benefit outside its home market.
